At night, after completing their sect mission, Qinyu and Qingli rushed back to the Diling Sect exhausted.

"Qingqing, are you feeling better?"

"Brother Qinyu!" Lin Qingqing turned around in surprise. Seeing that it was her senior brother, she squinted her eyes and smiled happily, "Why are you back, brother?"

"I was worried about Qingqing being alone, so Junior Sister Qingli and I hurried back overnight." Qin Yu said to Qingqing with a gentle look.

"Junior sister Qingqing, look what our senior brothers and sisters brought back for you!"

I heard the voice but didn't see anyone. It was Senior Sister Qingli.

Lin Qingqing looked curiously at the door, only to see Senior Sister Qingli walking towards her slowly with a cake with candles on it in her hands.

"Senior Brother! Senior Sister!" Lin Qingqing shouted excitedly.

"Qingqing's eighteenth birthday, how can I and Junior Sister Qingli be absent?" Qin Yu saw Qingqing excitedly running towards Qingli and unconsciously stopped her, "Qingqing, take care of yourself!"

Lin Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears of apology. She was in good health and didn't know where to start, so she shook her head gently.

"Brother, I'm fine. It's because I got to enjoy a human cake on my first birthday that my body involuntarily rushed towards me."

"You little greedy cat." Qin Yu pinched Lin Qingqing's nose affectionately.

Lin Qingqing touched her nose, which still had the residual warmth of her senior brother. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and said:

"Brother, I am an adult now. I can't pinch my nose like I did when I was a kid. It's embarrassing."

"Okay, okay, senior brother, I won't pinch you anymore. Our little guy has grown up and doesn't need senior brothers and sisters anymore." Qin Yu said in a strange voice.

"Ah, senior brother, how can you talk nonsense. I didn't say I don't want senior brothers and sisters, I just don't want..." Lin Qingqing spoke softer and softer, and the last few words were silent.

"What don't you want?" Qin Yu asked knowingly.

Seeing Lin Qingqing blushing with embarrassment, Qin Yu stopped teasing her.

"In my eyes, Qingqing will always be that little girl who never grows up."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing was stunned.

Qin Yu looked at her in a daze lovingly and pulled her to sit at the table.

"Qingqing, happy eighteenth birthday to you!" Qinyu and Qingli said in unison.

I don't know where to start expressing my feelings so I can only say thank you.

"Thank you, my dearest brothers and sisters."

Under the soft candlelight and the expectant gazes of her fellow practitioners, Lin Qingqing made her first wish as a cultivator.

"Junior Sister Qingqing, what wish did you make?" Qingli's gossiping spirit was suddenly ignited.

Lin Qingqing was about to speak when she was interrupted by Qin Yu: "Junior Sister Qingli, in the mortal world, you can't tell others about the wishes you made on your birthday. If you tell others, they won't come true."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you for the reminder, senior brother." Qingli almost did a bad thing with good intentions, and she was so scared that she apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay, Senior Sister. It's just superstition." Seeing that Senior Sister Qingli was overreacting, Lin Qingqing hurriedly comforted her.

After midnight, seeing that Senior Brother Qinyu and Senior Sister Qingli were preparing to go back to their rooms to rest, Lin Qingqing stood up and solemnly spoke some heartfelt words to them.

"Today, I am very grateful to my senior brothers and sisters for taking great pains to celebrate my 18th birthday. In the mortal world, this day is one of the most important days in a person's life. For cultivators, there is no such thing as adulthood or minorhood. However, for me, when I embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, I cut off my connection with the mortal world. I just never expected that my senior brothers and sisters would give me another warm home."

"I used to complain about the unfairness of fate, but I didn't realize that I had already embarked on the fairest path in the world. Today, I have lived to the age of 18, breaking the fate of heaven. I have succeeded a small step in the struggle against fate. I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for me in the future, but I am willing to fight for it again."

"My senior brothers and sisters have been so kind to me that I will never forget them. If one day I, Lin Qingqing, can become a great hero, I will come to repay you two for your kindness."

After saying that, Lin Qingqing kowtowed deeply to the two of them.

"My dear Junior Sister Qingqing, it's not necessary to do this."

"Sister, please don't say anything more. I have made up my mind."

"You, Qingli and I are all fellow disciples. The friendship between the three of us is naturally deeper than that between others. Don't mention favors anymore."

After saying that, Qin Yu left Lin Qingqing's room.

Qin Yu was a little angry that Lin Qingqing regarded the friendship between the three of them as a favor and would repay it in the future.

In the past, he thought of Qingqing as still young, but now she has grown into a graceful young lady, and he felt more than just a senior brother and sister towards her. Unfortunately, Qingqing just didn't understand.

Qin Yu sighed and shook his head: "Alas, there is a long way to go."

After seeing Qinyu leave, Qingli found an excuse and left as well, leaving Lin Qingqing alone in the room.

Lin Qingqing understood Brother Qinyu's intentions very well, and the friendship between the three of them was very deep. It was a pity that everyone had their own path of cultivation, and the three of them were destined not to be on the same path.

The dim candlelight illuminated Lin Qingqing's slender figure. She waved her hand gently, and the light went out. She spent the night sleeplessly.

next day

Mo Qinyu sat in the room all night, and his restless heart gradually calmed down.

He got up early and was on his way to Lin Qingqing's room to apologize for what happened last night and invite her to go boating on the lake to relax.

But there was no one in the room, and the tea in the cup was still warm. He only saw a note on the table, which read: I have gone to the immortal cave of the Earth Spirit Sect for retreat, and the time of leaving is not yet determined. Brothers and sisters are well, don't worry.

Mo Qinyu sighed, he was a step late.

After this separation, the three met again a year later.

Let’s talk about Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing didn't dare to waste even a moment of time. Now that she had met her long-missed senior brothers and sisters, she would devote the rest of her time to practicing in seclusion.

In the Immortal Cave of the Diling Sect

This was Lin Qingqing's first time flying to the immortal cave. The environment here was quiet and elegant, making people feel calm. There was a barrier outside the cave, which could prevent them from being disturbed by the outside world. There were many caves, which could accommodate twelve monks to practice together in seclusion at the same time.

She randomly found a cave, sat down and began to regulate her breathing, then took out six fasting pills and swallowed them all, which could sustain her without food for at least six months.

Then she took out 5 pills of each of three different kinds of pills, namely the Body Strengthening Pill for increasing physical fitness, the Dragon and Tiger Pill for increasing bone strength, and the Spirit Awakening Pill for increasing understanding. She made a gesture to speed up the absorption of the medicinal properties and swallowed the three pills one after another.

Two months later, the medicinal effects of the three pills that Lin Qingqing had taken had been fully absorbed. Her body became as light and powerful as that of an ordinary cultivator, and her spirits were high, no longer as weak and listless as before.

Next, Lin Qingqing swallowed all 10 breathing-aiding pills and still performed an auxiliary spell.

This kind of elixir can increase her cultivation and improve her realm. The lower her realm is, the better the effect.

After another six months, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her realm had risen from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the eighth level of Qi Refining. The effect of the elixir was beyond her expectations. No wonder all cultivators yearn for the world of cultivation, where there are abundant resources and spiritual energy. It is really a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

Lin Qingqing has three kinds of mixed spiritual roots, namely wood, metal and water, among which the wood spiritual root is thicker.

Although her master Guizhen Daoist accepted her as his disciple in name, in fact, all the skills and mental methods she learned were taught to her by her senior brothers and sisters. She knew all the reasons.

The founder of the Earth Spiritual Sect was the immortal Run Zhen who possessed earth spiritual roots. Most of the disciples recruited were cultivators with earth spiritual roots who were good at defensive spells. Lin Qingqing naturally studied this school, but she did not have earth spiritual roots, so she could only learn the skills and secrets of water spiritual roots as a second choice, but the spells had little effect.

Lin Qingqing set her sights on a set of secret books with a plain cover in the novice gift package given by the system.

Holding the secret book in her hands, her heart began to beat without warning. She felt more and more that this set of secret books was of great significance. When she opened them, two books fell into her hands, namely "The Blue Lotus Spell" and "The Blue Lotus Meditation Sutra". Both were top-grade secret books of heavenly rank, and could be advanced with the cultivator's cultivation level, and could even become top-grade secret books of immortal rank!

Lin Qingqing stared at the two strange books with shining eyes. These were the secret books of wood spirit roots tailor-made for her. She opened the book and began to practice eagerly.

She suddenly remembered what her senior brother had taught her: to cultivate one's mind first, if one learns the mind method well, the skills will naturally come to fruition.

She had no choice but to put down the "Blue Lotus Secrets" and turn to the "Blue Lotus Meditation Sutra", silently reciting: All living beings have troubles, and troubles are suffering...
